Blinx 0.5.2 - Linux diagnostic reports

Playable public beta: tested through World 2. End-to-end completion is not guaranteed.

This update improves diagnostic reporting for Linux runtime failures.

• Linux now automatically creates a shareable diagnostic ZIP after a crash and shows its exact path.
• The ZIP includes selected runtime diagnostics, graphics options and recorded controller inputs. Console keys, EEPROM and native saves remain local.
• Enable Mods > Crash and input logs before reproducing a problem. Fresh installations enable it by default; saved choices are preserved. On Windows, use Copy diagnostic ZIP in the crash dialog.

The native gameplay executable is unchanged from 0.5.1. This is a diagnostic update; Linux crash investigation and Steam Deck performance qualification remain ongoing.

Windows: extract the complete ZIP and retain your existing data folder. Linux: replace the AppImage and retain your existing external data directory. Both require your own supported NTSC-U game files.

Validation covered the final Linux package on AMD Vulkan hardware, stage 1 startup, input capture, shareable export and preservation of saves/settings during an update. Windows package integrity, launcher defaults, saved choices and crash-report transport also passed. Input recordings repeat controls; host timing can still cause a different outcome.

Matching project source and unchanged prepared dependency source are included. SHA256SUMS.txt covers the downloads.
